Description
L'invention est relative aux compositions, notamment pour pneumatiques et plus particulièrement aux compositions comprenant une résine hydrocarbonée spécifique pour améliorer le collant de la composition avant cuisson.The invention relates to compositions, in particular for tires and more particularly to compositions comprising a specific hydrocarbon resin for improving the tack of the composition before curing.
La capacité des compositions de caoutchouc d'être collantes avant cuisson est une propriété indispensable à la confection de pneumatique. En effet, pour confectionner les pneumatiques, il est nécessaire de pouvoir appliquer les différentes couches du pneumatique les unes sur les autres et que ces couches adhèrent les unes aux autres, avant la cuisson du pneumatique, cuisson qui associera par la réticulation les couches les unes aux autres. Cette propriété de collant de la composition avant cuisson, est également appelée « collant à cru » ou « tack » ou « green tack ».The capacity of the rubber compositions to be tacky before curing is an essential property in the manufacture of tires. In fact, in order to make the tires, it is necessary to be able to apply the different layers of the tire on top of each other and for these layers to adhere to each other, before curing of the tire, which curing will combine the layers with each other by crosslinking. to others. This tacky property of the composition before baking is also called “raw tack” or “tack” or “green tack”.
Les développements récents de pneumatiques à faible résistance au roulement ont amené les industriels des pneumatiques à modifier substantiellement les compositions de caoutchouc de leurs pneumatiques. Ce développement de mélanges à basse résistance au roulement s'accompagne en général d'une diminution du collant à cru. En effet, les résines tackifiantes utilisées pour augmenter le collant à cru s'accompagnent en général d'une augmentation de l'hystérèse. L'autre solution d'augmentation du collant à cru, par solvant d'avivage, présente le défaut de libérer des composés organiques volatils.Recent developments in tires with low rolling resistance have led tire manufacturers to substantially modify the rubber compositions of their tires. This development of low rolling resistance mixes is generally accompanied by a decrease in raw tack. In fact, the tackifying resins used to increase the raw tackiness are generally accompanied by an increase in hysteresis. The other solution for increasing the raw tack, using a brightening solvent, has the defect of releasing volatile organic compounds.
A présent, les Demanderesses ont montré qu'une composition particulière comprenant une résine hydrocarbonée spécifique permet d'avoir un très bon collant à cru et une faible résistance au roulement.The Applicants have now shown that a particular composition comprising a specific hydrocarbon-based resin makes it possible to have very good raw tack and low rolling resistance.

Par l'expression «composition à base de» il faut entendre une composition comportant le mélange et/ou le produit de réaction in situ des différents constituants de base utilisés, certains de ces constituants pouvant réagir et/ou étant destinés à réagir entre eux, au moins partiellement, lors des différentes phases de fabrication de la composition, ou lors de la cuisson ultérieure, modifiant la composition telle qu'elle est préparée au départ. Ainsi les compositions telles que mises en oeuvre pour l'invention peuvent être différentes à l'état non réticulé et à l'état réticulé.By the expression “composition based on” is meant a composition comprising the mixture and / or the reaction product in situ of the various basic constituents used, some of these constituents being able to react and / or being intended to react with each other, at least partially, during the various phases of manufacture of the composition, or during the subsequent cooking, modifying the composition as it is prepared at the start. Thus, the compositions as used for the invention can be different in the uncrosslinked state and in the crosslinked state.
Dans la présente description, sauf indication expresse différente, tous les pourcentages (%) indiqués sont des pourcentages en masse. D'autre part, tout intervalle de valeurs désigné par l'expression "entre a et b" représente le domaine de valeurs allant de plus de a à moins de b (c'est-à-dire bornes a et b exclues) tandis que tout intervalle de valeurs désigné par l'expression "de a à b" signifie le domaine de valeurs allant de a jusqu'à b (c'est-à-dire incluant les bornes strictes a et b).In the present description, unless expressly indicated otherwise, all the percentages (%) indicated are percentages by weight. On the other hand, any interval of values designated by the expression "between a and b" represents the range of values going from more than a to less than b (that is to say limits a and b excluded) while any range of values designated by the expression "from a to b" signifies the range of values going from a to b (that is to say including the strict limits a and b).
Les compositions peuvent contenir un seul élastomère diénique ou un mélange de plusieurs élastomères diéniques.The compositions may contain a single diene elastomer or a mixture of several diene elastomers.
Par élastomère (ou « caoutchouc », les deux termes étant considérés comme synonymes) du type "diénique", on rappelle ici que doit être compris de manière connue un (on entend un ou plusieurs) élastomère issu au moins en partie (i.e., un homopolymère ou un copolymère) de monomères diènes (monomères porteurs de deux doubles liaisons carbone-carbone, conjuguées ou non).By elastomer (or “rubber”, the two terms being considered synonymous) of the “diene” type, it is recalled here that one (one or more) elastomer obtained at least in part (ie, a known manner should be understood. homopolymer or a copolymer) of diene monomers (monomers bearing two carbon-carbon double bonds, conjugated or not).
Les élastomères diéniques peuvent être classés dans deux catégories : "essentiellement insaturés" ou "essentiellement saturés". On entend en général par "essentiellement insaturé", un élastomère diénique issu au moins en partie de monomères diènes conjugués, ayant un taux de motifs ou unités d'origine diénique (diènes conjugués) qui est supérieur à 15% (% en moles); c'est ainsi que des élastomères diéniques tels que les caoutchoucs butyle ou les copolymères de diènes et d'alpha-oléfines type EPDM n'entrent pas dans la définition précédente et peuvent être notamment qualifiés d'élastomères diéniques "essentiellement saturés" (taux de motifs d'origine diénique faible ou très faible, toujours inférieur à 15%). Dans la catégorie des élastomères diéniques "essentiellement insaturés", on entend en particulier par élastomère diénique "fortement insaturé" un élastomère diénique ayant un taux de motifs d'origine diénique (diènes conjugués) qui est supérieur à 50%.Diene elastomers can be classified into two categories: "substantially unsaturated" or "substantially saturated". In general, the term “essentially unsaturated” is understood to mean a diene elastomer derived at least in part from conjugated diene monomers, having a level of units or units of diene origin (conjugated dienes) which is greater than 15% (% by moles); it is thus that diene elastomers such as butyl rubbers or copolymers of dienes and alpha-olefins of the EPDM type do not fall within the preceding definition and can in particular be qualified as "essentially saturated" diene elastomers (content of units of weak or very weak diene origin, always less than 15%). In the category of “essentially unsaturated” diene elastomers, the term “highly unsaturated” diene elastomer is understood to mean in particular a diene elastomer having a level of units of diene origin (conjugated dienes) which is greater than 50%.

L'homme du métier comprendra qu'à titre de charge équivalente de la silice décrite dans le présent paragraphe, pourrait être utilisée une charge renforçante d'une autre nature, notamment organique, dès lors que cette charge renforçante serait recouverte d'une couche de silice, ou bien comporterait à sa surface des sites fonctionnels, notamment hydroxyles, nécessitant l'utilisation d'un agent de couplage pour établir la liaison entre la charge et l'élastomère.Those skilled in the art will understand that, as an equivalent filler of the silica described in this paragraph, a reinforcing filler of another nature, in particular organic, could be used, since this reinforcing filler is covered with a layer of silica, or else would contain functional sites, in particular hydroxyls, at its surface, requiring the use of a coupling agent to establish the bond between the filler and the elastomer.
L'état physique sous lequel se présente la charge renforçante est indifférent, que ce soit sous forme de poudre, de microperles, de granulés, de billes ou toute autre forme densifiée appropriée.The physical state in which the reinforcing filler is present is immaterial, whether in the form of powder, microbeads, granules, beads or any other suitable densified form.
Pour les besoins de l'invention, le taux de charge renforçante totale (noir de carbone et/ou charge inorganique renforçante telle que silice) est de 5 à 200 pce, plus préférentiellement de 40 à 160 pce. En dessous de 5 pce de charge, la composition pourrait ne pas être suffisamment renforcée tandis qu'au-dessus de 200 pce de charge, la composition pourrait être moins performante en résistance au roulement.For the needs of the invention, the level of total reinforcing filler (carbon black and / or reinforcing inorganic filler such as silica) is 5 to 200 phr, more preferably 40 to 160 phr. Below 5 phr of load, the composition could not be sufficiently reinforced, while above 200 phr of load, the composition could perform less in terms of rolling resistance.
Dans la composition de l'invention, on peut utiliser tout type de système de réticulation connu de l'homme du métier pour les compositions de caoutchouc.In the composition of the invention, any type of crosslinking system known to a person skilled in the art for rubber compositions can be used.
De préférence, le système de réticulation est un système de vulcanisation, c'est-à-dire à base de soufre (ou d'un agent donneur de soufre) et d'un accélérateur primaire de vulcanisation. A ce système de vulcanisation de base peuvent venir s'ajouter, incorporés au cours de la première phase non-productive et/ou au cours de la phase productive telles que décrites ultérieurement, divers accélérateurs secondaires ou activateurs de vulcanisation connus tels qu'oxyde de zinc, acide stéarique ou composés équivalents, dérivés guanidiques (en particulier diphénylguanidine).Preferably, the crosslinking system is a vulcanization system, that is to say one based on sulfur (or on a sulfur donor agent) and on a primary vulcanization accelerator.

Le système de vulcanisation de la composition selon l'invention peut également comprendre un ou plusieurs accélérateurs additionnels, par exemple les composés de la famille des thiurames, les dérivés dithiocarbamates de zinc, les sulfénamides, les guanidines ou les thiophosphates. On peut utiliser en particulier tout composé susceptible d'agir comme accélérateur de vulcanisation des élastomères diéniques en présence de soufre, notamment des accélérateurs du type thiazoles ainsi que leurs dérivés, des accélérateurs de type thiurames, dithiocarbamates de zinc. Ces accélérateurs sont plus préférentiellement choisis dans le groupe constitué par le disulfure de 2-mercaptobenzothiazyle (en abrégé "MBTS"), N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazyle sulfénamide (en abrégé "CBS"), N,N-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazyle sulfénamide (en abrégé "DCBS"), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazyle sulfénamide (en abrégé "TBBS"), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazyle sulfénimide (en abrégé "TBSI"), dibenzyldithiocarbamate de zinc (en abrégé "ZBEC") et les mélanges de ces composés. De préférence, on utilise un accélérateur primaire du type sulfénamide.The system for vulcanizing the composition according to the invention can also comprise one or more additional accelerators, for example compounds of the thiuram family, zinc dithiocarbamate derivatives, sulfenamides, guanidines or thiophosphates. In particular, any compound capable of acting as a vulcanization accelerator for diene elastomers in the presence of sulfur can be used, in particular accelerators of the thiazole type as well as their derivatives, accelerators of the zinc thiuram or dithiocarbamate type. These accelerators are more preferably chosen from the group consisting of 2-mercaptobenzothiazyl disulfide (abbreviated "MBTS"), N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazyl sulfenamide (abbreviated "CBS"), N, N-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazyle sulfenamide (abbreviated "DCBS"), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazyl sulfenamide (abbreviated "TBBS"), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazyl sulfenimide (abbreviated "TBSI"), zinc dibenzyldithiocarbamate (abbreviated "ZBEC") and mixtures of these compounds.

La composition selon l'invention comporte une résinbe hydrocarbonée spécifique. Cette résine hydrocarbonée présente une masse moléculaire moyenne en nombre (Mn) comprise entre 700 et 1000 g/mol, une masse moléculaire moyenne Mz supérieure à 6000 g/mol et un indice de polymolécularité (Ip) supérieur à 2,4. Les Mn, Mz et Ip sont mesurés par la technique de la chromatographie d'exclusion stérique (SEC), selon les méthodes définies plus bas.The composition according to the invention comprises a specific hydrocarbon resin. This hydrocarbon resin has a number-average molecular mass (Mn) of between 700 and 1000 g / mol, an average molecular mass Mz greater than 6000 g / mol and a polymolecularity index (Ip) greater than 2.4. The Mn, Mz and Ip are measured by the technique of size exclusion chromatography (SEC), according to the methods defined below.
De manière bien connue de l'homme du métier, les résines hydrocarbonées sont préparées par polymérisation. La fabrication de ces résines est notamment décrite dans « Hydrocarbon Resin » de R. Mildenberg, M. Zander, G. Collin et notamment au chapitre 3. Cette fabrication a lieu en quatre étapes, de sélection et prétraitement des feedstocks (lavage, distillation), de polymérisation des feedstocks (par voie cationique ou thermique), de neutralisation et de séparation de la résine, qui peut être faite par distillation ou stripping. Il est décrit que les paramètres de synthèse pouvant impacter les caractéristiques de la résine sont entre autres, la nature des constituants du feedstock qui est polymérisé, le type de procédé de polymérisation (Batch ou continu), le temps de réaction de polymérisation, la quantité de réactif d'initiation et les conditions de séparation de la résine.In a manner well known to those skilled in the art, the hydrocarbon resins are prepared by polymerization. The manufacture of these resins is described in particular in “Hydrocarbon Resin” by R. Mildenberg, M. Zander, G. Collin and in particular in chapter 3. This manufacture takes place in four stages, selection and pre-treatment of the feedstocks (washing, distillation). , polymerization of feedstocks (cationic or thermal), neutralization and separation of the resin, which can be done by distillation or stripping. It is described that the synthesis parameters that can impact the characteristics of the resin are, among others, the nature of the constituents of the feedstock which is polymerized, the type of polymerization process (batch or continuous), the polymerization reaction time, the quantity of initiation reagent and the resin separation conditions.
Par exemple, lors de l'étape de séparation, la résine est séparée du feedstock non réagi, constitué de molécules de faible masse. Classiquement cette séparation est réalisée par distillation sous vide. La température et la pression permettent donc d'ajuster la masse moléculaire minimum de la résine. Ainsi cette étape permet de modifier la distribution de masse moléculaire de la résine. Il est ainsi connu pour l'homme de l'art, que des ajustements de paramètres de fabrication permettent d'obtenir des caractéristiques diverses pour les résines préparées.For example, during the separation step, the resin is separated from the unreacted feedstock, which consists of molecules of low mass. Conventionally, this separation is carried out by vacuum distillation. The temperature and the pressure therefore make it possible to adjust the minimum molecular mass of the resin. Thus this step makes it possible to modify the molecular mass distribution of the resin. It is thus known to those skilled in the art that adjustments of the manufacturing parameters make it possible to obtain various characteristics for the resins prepared.
Dans le commerce également, il existe de nombreuses résines hydrocarbonées disponibles. Ces résines peuvent présenter des caractéristiques, notamment de Mn, Mz et Ip qui diffèrent selon les fournisseurs, et parfois selon le lot pour une même dénomination commerciale. Ainsi, la mesure des paramètres spécifiques des résines, préparées ou commercialement disponibles, permet de choisir la résine pour l'invention, cette dernière devant présenter les propriétés spécifiques de Mn, Mz et Ip décrites dans la présente demande.Also commercially there are many hydrocarbon resins available. These resins can have characteristics, in particular of Mn, Mz and Ip which differ according to the suppliers, and sometimes according to the batch for the same trade name. Thus, the measurement of the specific parameters of the resins, prepared or commercially available, makes it possible to choose the resin for the invention, the latter having to exhibit the specific properties of Mn, Mz and Ip described in the present application.
La macrostructure (Mw, Mn, Ip et Mz) de la résine hydrocarbonée est déterminée par chromatographie d'exclusion stérique (SEC) sur la base des normes ISO 16014 (Determination of average molecular mass and molecular mass distribution of polymers using size exclusion chromatography), ASTM D5296 (Molecular Weight Averages and molecular weight distribution of polystyrene by High performance size exclusion chromatography), et DIN 55672 (chromatographie d'exclusion stérique).The macrostructure (Mw, Mn, Ip and Mz) of the hydrocarbon resin is determined by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) on the basis of ISO 16014 standards ( Determination of average molecular mass and molecular mass distribution of polymers using size exclusion chromatography ) , ASTM D5296 ( Molecular Weight Averages and molecular weight distribution of polystyrene by High performance size exclusion chromatography ), and DIN 55672 (size exclusion chromatography).
Pour ces mesures, l'échantillon de résine est solubilisé dans du tetrahydrofurane non antioxydé jusqu'à une concentration de 1,5 g/l. La solution est filtrée avec un filtre téflon de porosité de 0,45 µm, en utilisant par exemple une seringue à usage unique montée d'un filtre. Un volume de 100 µl est injecté à travers un jeu de colonnes de chromatographie d'exclusion stérique. La phase mobile est éluée avec un débit de 1 ml/min. Les colonnes sont thermostatées dans un four à 35°C. La détection est assurée par un réfractomètre thermostaté à 35°C. La phase stationnaire des colonnes est à base d'un gel de polystyrène divinylbenzène à porosité maîtrisée. Les chaînes polymères sont séparées selon la taille qu'elles occupent quand elles sont solubilisées dans le solvant: plus elles occupent un volume important, moins les pores des colonnes leur sont accessibles et plus leur temps d'élution est faible.For these measurements, the resin sample is solubilized in non-antioxidant tetrahydrofuran up to a concentration of 1.5 g / l. The solution is filtered with a Teflon filter with a porosity of 0.45 μm, for example using a disposable syringe fitted with a filter. A volume of 100 μl is injected through a set of steric exclusion chromatography columns. The mobile phase is eluted with a flow rate of 1 ml / min. The columns are thermostatically controlled in an oven at 35 ° C. Detection is ensured by a refractometer thermostatically controlled at 35 ° C. The stationary phase of the columns is based on a polystyrene divinylbenzene gel with controlled porosity. The polymer chains are separated according to the size they occupy when they are dissolved in the solvent: the more they occupy a large volume, the less accessible the pores of the columns are and the shorter their elution time.
Une courbe d'étalonnage de Moore reliant le logarithme de la masse molaire (logM) au temps d'élution (te) est préalablement réalisée avec des étalons polystyrène, et modélisée par un polynome d'ordre 3 : Log (masse molaire de polystyrène) = a + b te + c te2 + d te3.A Moore calibration curve relating the logarithm of the molar mass (logM) to the elution time (te) is carried out beforehand with polystyrene standards, and modeled by a polynomial of order 3: Log (molar mass of polystyrene) = a + b te + c te2 + d te3.
Pour la courbe d'étalonnage on utilise des étalons de polystyrène à distributions moléculaires étroites (indice de polymolécularité, Ip, inférieur ou égal à 1,1). Le domaine de masses molaires de ces étalons s'étend de 160 à environ 70 000 g/mol. Ces étalons peuvent être rassemblés par « familles » de 4 ou 5 étalons ayant un incrément d'environ 0,55 en log de M entre chaque.For the calibration curve, polystyrene standards with narrow molecular distributions (polymolecularity index, Ip, less than or equal to 1.1) are used. The molar mass range of these standards ranges from 160 to about 70,000 g / mol. These standards can be grouped into "families" of 4 or 5 standards having an increment of about 0.55 in log of M between each.
On peut utiliser des kits étalons certifiés (ISO 13885 et DIN 55672) comme par exemple les kits de vials de la société PSS (polymer standard service, référence PSS-pskitr1l-3), ainsi qu'un PS étalon supplémentaire de Mp = 162 g/mol (Interchim, référence 178952). Ces kits se présentent sous la forme de 3 vials contenant chacun une famille de polystyrène étalons dans des quantités adaptées :
- Vial noir : Mp = 1 220, 4 850, 15 500 et 67 500 g/mol.
- Vial bleu : Mp = 376, 3 470, 10 400, 46 000 g/mol.
- Vial jaune : Mp = 266, 1 920, 7 200, 28 000 g/mol.
- PS162 : Mp = 162 g/mol.
- Black vial: Mp = 1,220, 4,850, 15,500 and 67,500 g / mol.
- Blue vial: Mp = 376, 3,470, 10,400, 46,000 g / mol.
- Yellow vial: Mp = 266, 1920, 7200, 28000 g / mol.
- PS162: Mp = 162 g / mol.
Les masses molaires moyennes en nombre (Mn), en masse (Mw), la Mz, et la polydispersité de la résine analysée sont calculées à partir de cette courbe d'étalonnage. C'est pourquoi, on parle de masses molaires relatives à un étalonnage polystyrène.The number-average molar masses (Mn), mass (Mw), Mz, and the polydispersity of the resin analyzed are calculated from this calibration curve. This is why we speak of molar masses relating to a polystyrene calibration.
Pour le calcul des masses moyennes et de l'Ip, on définit sur le chromatogramme correspondant à l'injection de l'échantillon les bornes d'intégration de l'élution du produit. On « découpe » le signal réfractométrique défini entre les 2 bornes d'intégration toutes les secondes. On relève pour chacune des "découpes élémentaires", le temps d'élution ti et l'aire du signal du détecteur Ai.For the calculation of the mean masses and of the Ip, the integration limits of the elution of the product are defined on the chromatogram corresponding to the injection of the sample.

La résine utile aux besoins de l'invention peut être choisie parmi les résines naturelles ou synthétiques. Parmi les résines synthétiques elle peut être préférentiellement choisie parmi les résines hydrocarbonées thermoplastiques aliphatiques, ou aromatiques ou encore du type aliphatique/ aromatique c'est-à-dire à base de monomères aliphatiques et/ou aromatiques.The resin useful for the purposes of the invention can be chosen from natural or synthetic resins. Among the synthetic resins, it may be preferably chosen from thermoplastic aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon resins or else of the aliphatic / aromatic type, ie based on aliphatic and / or aromatic monomers.
A titre de monomères aromatiques conviennent par exemple le styrène, l'alpha-méthylstyrène, l'ortho-, méta-, para-méthylstyrène, le vinyle-toluène, le para-tertiobutylstyrène, les méthoxystyrènes, les chlorostyrènes, le vinylmésitylène, le divinylbenzène, le vinylnaphtalène, tout monomère vinylaromatique issu d'une coupe C9 (ou plus généralement d'une coupe C8 à C10).

Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement préférentiel, la résine utile aux besoins de l'invention est choisie dans le groupe constitué par les résines hydrocarbonées aliphatiques et les mélanges de ces dernières et notamment parmi les résines d'homopolymères ou copolymères de cyclopentadiène (en abrégé CPD) ou dicyclopentadiène (en abrégé DCPD), les résines d'homopolymères ou copolymères de coupe C5 et les mélanges de ces dernières.According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the resin useful for the needs of the invention is chosen from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbon resins and mixtures of the latter and in particular from resins of homopolymers or copolymers of cyclopentadiene (abbreviated CPD ) or dicyclopentadiene (abbreviated DCPD), resins of homopolymers or copolymers of C5 cut and mixtures of the latter.

Indeed, below 1 phr of the resin useful for the needs of the invention, the composition could exhibit tackiness problems and therefore of industrial processability, while above 15 phr, the resin could modify the stiffness and glass transition temperature properties of the composition.
Les compositions de caoutchouc conformes à l'invention comportent optionnellement également tout ou partie des additifs usuels habituellement utilisés dans les compositions d'élastomères destinées notamment à la fabrication de bandes de roulement, comme par exemple des pigments, des agents de protection tels que cires anti-ozone, anti-ozonants chimiques, anti-oxydants, des agents plastifiants autres que ceux précédemment décrits, des agents anti-fatigue, des résines renforçantes, des accepteurs (par exemple résine phénolique novolaque) ou des donneurs de méthylène (par exemple HMT ou H3M).The rubber compositions in accordance with the invention optionally also include all or part of the usual additives usually used in the elastomer compositions intended in particular for the manufacture of treads, such as, for example, pigments, protective agents such as anti-waxes. -ozone, chemical anti-ozonants, anti-oxidants, plasticizers other than those previously described, anti-fatigue agents, reinforcing resins, acceptors (for example phenolic novolak resin) or methylene donors (for example HMT or H3M).

This plasticizer system may be composed of a hydrocarbon resin with a Tg greater than 20 ° C., in addition to the specific hydrocarbon resin described above, and / or a plasticizer oil.
Bien entendu, les compositions conformes à l'invention peuvent être utilisées seules ou en coupage (i.e., en mélange) avec toute autre composition de caoutchouc utilisable pour la fabrication de pneumatiques.Of course, the compositions in accordance with the invention can be used alone or as a blend (i.e., as a mixture) with any other rubber composition which can be used for the manufacture of tires.
Il va de soi que l'invention concerne les compositions de caoutchouc précédemment décrites tant à l'état dit "cru" ou non réticulé (i.e., avant cuisson) qu'à l'état dit "cuit" ou réticulé, ou encore vulcanisé (i.e., après réticulation ou vulcanisation).It goes without saying that the invention relates to the rubber compositions described above both in the so-called "raw" or uncrosslinked state (ie, before curing) and in the so-called "cured" or crosslinked state, or else vulcanized ( ie, after crosslinking or vulcanization).
Les compositions sont fabriquées dans des mélangeurs appropriés, en utilisant deux phases de préparation successives bien connues de l'homme du métier: une première phase de travail ou malaxage thermo-mécanique (parfois qualifiée de phase "non-productive") à haute température, jusqu'à une température maximale comprise entre 110°C et 190°C, de préférence entre 130°C et 180°C, suivie d'une deuxième phase de travail mécanique (parfois qualifiée de phase "productive") à plus basse température, typiquement inférieure à 110°C, par exemple entre 60°C et 100°C, phase de finition au cours de laquelle est incorporé le système de réticulation ou vulcanisation; de telles phases ont été décrites par exemple dans les demandes
La première phase (non-productive) est conduite préférentiellement en plusieurs étapes thermomécaniques. Au cours d'une première étape on introduit, dans un mélangeur approprié tel qu'un mélangeur interne usuel, les élastomères, les charges renforçantes, la résine hydrocarbonée (et éventuellement les agents de couplage et/ou d'autres ingrédients à l'exception du système de réticulation), à une température comprise entre 20°C et 100°C et, de préférence, entre 25°C et 100°C. Après quelques minutes, préférentiellement de 0,5 à 2 min et une montée de la température à 90°C à 100°C, les autres ingrédients (c'est-à-dire, ceux qui restent si tous n'ont pas été mis au départ) sont ajoutés en une fois ou par parties, à l'exception du système de réticulation durant un mélangeage allant de 20 secondes à quelques minutes. La durée totale du malaxage, dans cette phase non-productive, est de préférence comprise entre 2 et 10 minutes à une température inférieure ou égale à 180°C, et préférentiellement inférieure ou égale à 170°C.The first phase (non-productive) is preferably carried out in several thermomechanical steps. During a first step, the elastomers, the reinforcing fillers, the hydrocarbon resin (and optionally the coupling agents and / or other ingredients with the exception of a suitable mixer such as a conventional internal mixer) are introduced. of the crosslinking system), at a temperature between 20 ° C and 100 ° C and, preferably, between 25 ° C and 100 ° C. After a few minutes, preferably from 0.5 to 2 min and a rise in temperature to 90 ° C to 100 ° C, the other ingredients (that is to say, those which remain if all have not been put at the start) are added all at once or in parts, with the exception of the crosslinking system during mixing ranging from 20 seconds to a few minutes. The total mixing time, in this non-productive phase, is preferably between 2 and 10 minutes at a temperature less than or equal to 180 ° C, and preferably less than or equal to 170 ° C.
Après refroidissement du mélange ainsi obtenu, on incorpore alors le système de réticulation à basse température (typiquement inférieure à 100°C), généralement dans un mélangeur externe tel qu'un mélangeur à cylindres; le tout est alors mélangé (phase productive) pendant quelques minutes, par exemple entre 5 et 15 min.After cooling the mixture thus obtained, the crosslinking system is then incorporated at low temperature (typically less than 100 ° C.), generally in an external mixer such as a roller mixer; the whole is then mixed (productive phase) for a few minutes, for example between 5 and 15 min.
La composition finale ainsi obtenue est ensuite calandrée, par exemple sous la forme d'une feuille ou d'une plaque, notamment pour une caractérisation au laboratoire, ou encore extrudée, pour former par exemple un profilé de caoutchouc utilisé pour la fabrication de semi-finis pour pneumatiques. Ces produits peuvent ensuite être utilisés pour la fabrication de pneumatiques, selon les techniques connues de l'homme du métier, avec l'avantage de l'invention, à savoir un bon collant des couches les unes sur les autres avant cuisson du pneumatique.The final composition thus obtained is then calendered, for example in the form of a sheet or of a plate, in particular for a characterization in the laboratory, or else extruded, to form for example a rubber profile used for the manufacture of semi-solid. finishes for tires. These products can then be used for the manufacture of tires, according to techniques known to those skilled in the art, with the advantage of the invention, namely a good tack of the layers to one another before curing of the tire.
La réticulation (ou cuisson) est conduite de manière connue à une température généralement comprise entre 130°C et 200°C, sous pression, pendant un temps suffisant qui peut varier par exemple entre 5 et 90 min en fonction notamment de la température de cuisson, du système de réticulation adopté, de la cinétique de réticulation de la composition considérée ou encore de la taille du pneumatique.The crosslinking (or baking) is carried out in a known manner at a temperature generally between 130 ° C and 200 ° C, under pressure, for a sufficient time which may vary for example between 5 and 90 min depending in particular on the baking temperature , the crosslinking system adopted, the crosslinking kinetics of the composition in question or the size of the tire.
Les exemples qui suivent illustrent l'invention sans toutefois la limiter.The examples which follow illustrate the invention without, however, limiting it.
Dans les exemples qui suivent les compositions caoutchouteuses ont été réalisées comme décrit précédemment.In the examples which follow, the rubber compositions were produced as described above.
Dans les exemples, les compositions de caoutchouc sont caractérisées avant et/ou après cuisson comme indiqué ci-après.In the examples, the rubber compositions are characterized before and / or after curing as indicated below.
Le tack est la capacité d'un assemblage de mélanges non vulcanisés à résister à une sollicitation d'arrachement.Tack is the ability of an assembly of unvulcanized mixtures to resist pulling stress.
On utilise pour la mesure du collant à cru (tack) un dispositif de test est inspiré du probe tack tester (ASTM D2979-95). On utilise une machine de traction Instron comportant un mors métallique fixe et un mors métallique mobile. Une première éprouvette constituée d'un film de mélange de 3mm d'épaisseur est collée sur le mors fixe. Une deuxième éprouvette constituée d'un film de mélange de 3mm d'épaisseur est collée sur le mors mobile. Les films de mélange sont collés sur la surface des mors métalliques avec un adhésif double face (Tesafix® 4970).A test device based on the probe tack tester (ASTM D2979-95) is used for the measurement of the bare tack (tack). An Instron traction machine with a fixed metal jaw and a movable metal jaw is used. A first test piece made up of a 3mm thick mixing film is glued to the fixed jaw. A second test piece made of a 3mm thick film of mixture is glued to the movable jaw. The mixing films are bonded to the surface of the metal jaws with double-sided adhesive (Tesafix® 4970).
Pour la préparation des éprouvettes de mélange, les films de mélange sont obtenus par calandrage à une épaisseur de 3 mm. Les éprouvettes sont découpées à l'aide d'un emporte-pièce de diamètre 1 cm.For the preparation of the mixture specimens, the mixture films are obtained by calendering to a thickness of 3 mm. The test pieces are cut using a cookie cutter with a diameter of 1 cm.
Le principe de la mesure consiste à mettre en contact les deux films de mélange durant 5 secondes en appliquant une force de compression de 40 N. Après cette phase de contact, ils sont séparés par entraînement de la traverse de la machine de traction. La vitesse de déplacement de la traverse dans cette phase d'arrachement est de 1mm/s. Le déplacement de la traverse et la force sont mesurés en continu en fonction du temps durant les phases de contact et d'arrachement.The principle of the measurement consists in bringing the two mixing films into contact for 5 seconds by applying a compressive force of 40 N. After this contact phase, they are separated by driving the cross member of the traction machine. The speed of movement of the crosspiece in this tearing phase is 1mm / s. Crosshead displacement and force are measured continuously as a function of time during the contact and breakout phases.
Le résultat de collant à cru est la mesure de la force maximum atteinte lors de l'arrachement.The raw tack result is the measurement of the maximum force reached during the pullout.
Les résultats sont exprimés en base 100, c'est-à-dire qu'on affecte arbitrairement la valeur 100 au meilleur témoin, pour comparer ensuite le collant à cru des différentes solutions testées, plus la valeur est élevée, plus le collant à cru est fort.The results are expressed in base 100, that is to say that the value 100 is arbitrarily assigned to the best control, in order to then compare the raw tack of the different solutions tested, the higher the value, the greater the raw tack. is strong.
Les propriétés dynamiques G* et tan(δ)max sont mesurées sur un viscoanalyseur (Metravib V A4000), selon la norme ASTM D 5992 - 96. On enregistre la réponse d'un échantillon de composition vulcanisée (éprouvette cylindrique de 4 mm d'épaisseur et de 400 mm2 de section), soumis à une sollicitation sinusoïdale en cisaillement simple alterné, à la fréquence de 10Hz, dans les conditions variables de température, notamment à 60°C, selon la norme ASTM D 1349 - 99. On effectue un balayage en amplitude de déformation crête à crête de 0,1 à 50% (cycle aller), puis de 50% à 1 % (cycle retour). Les résultats exploités sont le module complexe de cisaillement dynamique (G*) et le facteur de perte (tan δ). Pour le cycle retour, on indique la valeur maximale de tan δ observée (tan(δ)max), ainsi que l'écart de module complexe (ΔG*) entre les valeurs à 0,1% et à 50% de déformation (effet Payne). Pour la valeur de tan(δ)max à 60°C, plus la valeur est basse, plus la composition aura une hystérèse faible et donc un résistance au roulement faible. Les résultats sont exprimés en base 100, c'est-à-dire qu'on affecte arbitrairement la valeur 100 au meilleur témoin, pour comparer ensuite le tan(δ)max à 60°C (c'est-à-dire l'hystérèse - et donc la résistance au roulement) des différentes solutions testées.The dynamic properties G * and tan (δ) max are measured on a viscoanalyst (Metravib V A4000), according to standard ASTM D 5992 - 96. The response of a sample of vulcanized composition is recorded (cylindrical test piece of 4 mm d ' thickness and section 400 mm2), subjected to a sinusoidal stress in alternating simple shear, at a frequency of 10 Hz, under variable temperature conditions, in particular at 60 ° C, according to standard ASTM D 1349 - 99. A peak-to-peak strain amplitude sweep from 0.1 to 50% (forward cycle), then from 50% to 1% (return cycle). The results used are the complex dynamic shear modulus (G *) and the loss factor (tan δ). For the return cycle, we indicate the maximum value of tan δ observed (tan (δ) max), as well as the difference in complex modulus (ΔG *) between the values at 0.1% and at 50% deformation (effect Payne). For the value of tan (δ) max at 60 ° C, the lower the value, the lower the composition will have a low hysteresis and therefore a low rolling resistance. The results are expressed in base 100, that is to say that the value 100 is arbitrarily assigned to the best control, to then compare the tan (δ) max at 60 ° C (that is to say the hysteresis - and therefore the rolling resistance) of the different solutions tested.
Les compositions sont fabriquées avec une introduction de l'ensemble des constituants sur un mélangeur interne, à l'exception du système de vulcanisation. Les agents de vulcanisation (soufre et accélérateur) sont introduits sur un mélangeur externe à basse température (les cylindres constitutifs du mélangeur étant à environ 30°C).The compositions are manufactured with an introduction of all the constituents on an internal mixer, with the exception of the vulcanization system. The vulcanizing agents (sulfur and accelerator) are introduced into an external mixer at low temperature (the cylinders constituting the mixer being at approximately 30 ° C.).
Les exemples présentés dans le tableau 2 ont pour objet de comparer les différentes propriétés de caoutchouterie de compositions témoins (C1 à C7) à une composition C8 conforme à l'invention. Les propriétés mesurées avant et après cuisson sont présentées au tableau 3.

Par rapport aux compositions témoins, on note que la composition C8, conforme à l'invention, présente un compromis collant à cru / hystérèse amélioré par rapport à tous les témoins et notamment par rapport au témoin C2, qui, s'il présente une meilleure performance de collant à cru que la composition C8 conforme à l'invention, présente également une plus grande hystérèse, pénalisant la résistance au roulement. On peut noter aussi la grande différence entre les compositions C7 et C8, indiquant que selon la version de fabrication d'une même résine, ici « Escorez 1102 », les propriétés peuvent varier de manière notable, selon les caractéristiques précises de Mn, Mz et Ip de la résine. Ici, la composition témoin C7 présente une hystérèse comparable à la composition conforme à l'invention mais un collant à cru nettement moins bon. La composition C8 de l'invention possède donc le meilleur compromis de performances entre le collant à cru et la résistance au roulement, avec un niveau d'hystérèse aussi faible que le témoin C1 sans résine, et un niveau de collant à cru élevé.Compared to the control compositions, it is noted that the composition C8, in accordance with the invention, exhibits a raw tackiness / improved hysteresis compromise compared to all the controls and in particular compared to the control C2, which, if it exhibits a better raw tacky performance that composition C8 according to the invention also exhibits greater hysteresis, penalizing rolling resistance. We can also note the great difference between compositions C7 and C8, indicating that depending on the manufacturing version of the same resin, here “Escorez 1102”, the properties can vary significantly, depending on the precise characteristics of Mn, Mz and Ip of the resin. Here, the control composition C7 exhibits a hysteresis comparable to the composition in accordance with the invention but a much poorer raw tackiness. Composition C8 of the invention therefore has the best performance compromise between raw tack and rolling resistance, with a level of hysteresis as low as control C1 without resin, and a high level of raw tack.
